Cabinets  of  the  Presidents 
and  the  Speakers  of  the 
House  of  Representatives 

1789-1920 


The  Cabinet  of  the  President  of  the 
United  States  is  composed  of  ten  members 
appointed  by  him,  subject  to  the  approval 
of  the  Senate.  Removal  is  by  the  Presi- 
dent only. 

They  act  as  a  board  of  advisers  to  the 
President  and  are  heads  of  special  depart- 
ments of  the  government  subdivided  into 
bureaus,  divisions  and  sections. 

There  were  only  four  actual  members 
of  Washington's  Cabinet,  although  a  fifth, 
the  Postmaster- General  is  usually  enumer- 
ated with  them.  This  department  was  or- 
ganized in  1794  and  at  that  time  supervised 
by  the  Treasury  Department.  In  1829, 
the  Postmaster- General  was  invited  into 
the  Cabinet  by  President  Jackson. 

A  Secretary  of  the  Navy  was  added  in 
1798;  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  1849;

of  Commerce  and  Labor,  1903,  and  Secre-

of  President  or  Vice-President  were  filled 
by  Congress  as  provided  in  Article  2,  Sec- 
tion 5,  of  the  Constitution.  Since  that 
date,  during  the  administration  of  Ben- 
jamin Harrison,  an  Act  of  Congress  has 
arranged  the  Cabinet  in  a  line  of  succes- 
sion to  the  Presidency  in  the  order  as  they 
appear  today. 

The  principal  duties  of  the  various  de- 
partments are  as  follows :
